“Israel has said it will maintain its barrage of airstrikes on the Gaza strip, in response to hundreds of rockets fired by Palestinian militants. Four Israelis have died. Officials in Gaza say 23 Palestinians have been killed since Friday, including a Palestinian commander.”

“A mother and her baby have died after Israeli forces launched attacks on the Gaza strip in response to hundreds of rockets being fired by Palestinian militants.”

“Israel says around 200 rockets have been fired into the south of the country from Gaza by Palestinian militants, wounding two people. Israel launched airstrikes and tankfire in response.

“In Israel, a ceremony of remembrance has been taking place at a kibbutz established by Jewish survivors of the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto. In 1943, Jews imprisoned in the largest ghetto under Nazi occupation rose up against the German army, temporarily halting their deportation to extermination camps. An estimated 13,000 were killed. The service marks 70 years since the kibbutz was founded, and is being held on Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day.”

“The disclosure that Richard Burgon described Zionists as ‘the enemies of peace’ has again reopened Labour’s gaping wound over anti-semitism, one made sharper by the fact Mr Burgon is not only the shadow justice secretary but also a close ally and supporter of Jeremy Corbyn.

His comments have provoked a furious response from leading Jewish organisations, including the British Board of Deputies, who said they encapsulated the total sham of Labour’s approach to anti-semitism.

… only last year … Mr Burgon denied making such remarks.. ‘I didn’t say that, and they couldn’t tell me when they believed I had said that, and it’s not my view’.

Tonight, the chairman of the Jewish Labour Movement, Mike Katz, wrote in protest to the party’s chief whip. Nick Brown, and said that Mr Burgon could not play at being lord-chancellor-in-waiting while making dog-whistle attacks on British Jews.”
